The Dean of Coventry is based at Coventry Cathedral in the West Midlands, UK and is the head of the Chapter at the cathedral, which was created in 1918 from the parish church of St Michael. The current Acting Dean is the Reverend Canon Tim Pullen.
Prior to appointment of the first dean the function was carried out by a sub-dean or a provost.
Famous quotes containing the word dean:
“Psychobabble is ... a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candor, and understanding it pretends to promote. It’s an idiom that reduces psychological insight to a collection of standardized observations, that provides a frozen lexicon to deal with an infinite variety of problems.”
—Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
